coverup, hat

The Shopbop sale is now underway and so many of my favorite pieces are included. It’s the best time to buy designer items that don’t normally go on sale… or maybe just something you’ve had your eye on. I usually take this as a sign to shop ahead for spring and summer, my favorite seasons. One thing I love about Shopbop is their quick shipping and great customer service. I wanted to put a post together to highlight the pieces I love and wear (again and again) before they sell out. The sale runs until March 2nd if you’re wanting to shop it.

This coverup/dress is a huge summer favorite of mine. It’s super flattering and I can’t wait to wear it again once it gets warm. This hat was also a fav last summer.

coverup in white

Another coverup I loved last summer was this one. It’s sold out in turquoise but still available in white which is really chic.

jacket, sunglasses

Ahh my favorite moto jacket. Who knew I’d love a silver leather jacket so much, but I do and I’ve found so many things to wear it with. I actually snagged these sunglasses during the sale several years back and they continue to be one of my most worn pairs. Such a great time to buy!

cardigan

This cardigan has taken me all through fall and winter… I wear it at least once a week. It’s so cozy – the perfect layering piece.

jacket

Another cozy layer I’ve had since fall is this faux fur jacket. It runs a little big but is so comfortable – also comes in black!

top

I’ve had this top for three years now and still love wearing it. The photo above was from 2.5 years ago when I was pregnant with Crosby and barely showing. It works with a bump too!

When we were in Palm Springs I didn’t wear makeup or do my hair once. It was so nice. We took these pictures after a full day outside. I threw on my friend Ashley’s hat to cover my wet (from the pool) hair. This bikini is probably my new favorite. First of all the color is amazing, it’s a bright/deep fuchsia that is perfect for summer. I also love the smocked off the shoulder top. It’s so different from most of my bikini tops.

I feel like now more than ever anything goes with swimwear. I used to be mostly a triangle bikini top girl, but now there’s a lot more variety in my suits. The off the shoulder part of the top might seem weird, but you can tuck those into the top if you want to wear it more like a bandeau. It also has a lace up back which can be worn in the front too!

We mostly kept Crosby in the shade and she always had a hat on. I was a little worried she wouldn’t keep one on… we’re going through a “nothing-on-the-head” phase, but she didn’t mind. The chin strap definitely helped with that.

I bought her this mini rainbow pool float to match ours, but she really didn’t care for it. We had a float like this for her too that we finally got her to go in. It took a lot of effort but once she was in she would tolerate it for about 15 minutes. Success. We’re heading out of town again this weekend and will be brining it along again.

Now that we’re in July it really feels like summer is in full swing around here. I recently got a bunch of new swimsuits and am so excited to live in them all season long. This turquoise cover up is so cute over it’s matching turquoise bikini. I felt slightly 60’s fab in this sheer lace tunic which was perfect for our location.

We just got back from a long weekend in Palm Springs with friends and Crosby. Palm Springs is one of my favorite places, it’s a short two hour drive from us but you always feel like you’re much further away. Or maybe in a completely different time period all together. Everything is bright and white and colorful, so naturally makes the best backdrops for photos. Let me apologize in advance for the Palm Springs content I’ll be sharing over the next few weeks. It was just too perfect!

In other news, I can’t believe the 4th of July is tomorrow. And on a Wednesday! It really makes the week seem chopped up and weird. Is that good or bad? I wish these holidays were always a long weekend since not everyone gets those days off… Jeff included. So we’re probably going to stay local and do something low key this year.

Happy Summer Solstice and longest day of the year! I thought it was only appropriate to wear this total summer look on the blog today. I wore this to the beach a couple weeks ago and stopped for some photos on the way home. So please excuse my post-beach-day sweat/glow. The hat and sunglasses were definitely needed. HA!

This Tiare Hawaii skirt is a new addition to my closet, but I think I’ll be wearing it a lot of different ways this summer. It’s slightly high-waisted (but I pulled it up higher so it wouldn’t be too long). There’s a coordinating crop top that could be worn with it for a really cute matchy-matchy look… or you could mix a variety of colored tops with it to suit your mood.

I’d never worn a high-waisted skirt as a swim coverup before, but I think I like it! This new suit from PilyQ is really fun for summer. I love how much coverage the top provides. As I mentioned, I wore it to the beach this day (here’s what the bikini looks like here without the skirt) and was comfortable running around chasing Crosby in the sand. What. A. Workout.

I also want to mention I’m currently doing a Beek Sandal giveaway on my instagram. I love these sandals so much. I’ve had this pair for over a year and whenever my girlfriend Shelby and I get together with our babies we seem to do a lot of walking. In the warmer months I always wear my Beeks for this and have never gotten a blister or been uncomfortable. We go to the beach and walk for miles sometimes. I love these sandals because they have a wooden sole and mold to your feet the more you wear them. They’re locally made in Newport and come in so many really cute styles. You can see them all here.

Even though summer doesn’t officially start until later this month, it kind of feels like it’s already here. We’ve had a blast of perfectly sunny weather which has felt especially nice after a gloomy May. We’re not out of the woods yet, June Gloom is a real thing around here, but I’m looking ahead to my favorite season… S U M M E R!

I love nothing more than a trip to the desert so when Jeff had a work conference come up, Crosby and I jumped at the chance to tag along and check out a new (to us) boutique hotel.
